After walking for a while, Li Huailin regretted teaming up with this group of people. It was a waste of time. Since Li Huailin had a group of people around him and he didn't want to expose his identity, he basically didn't plan to make a move. The monsters along the way were very troublesome.
The monsters in this area were all Level 100 +, while these players were only around Level 80. Hence, the scouting range of these monsters was extremely large. They could detect players from afar. Hence, it would be extremely difficult for these players to ascend the mountain.
It was easier to deal with melee monsters. After all, there was a Hunter who could lure the monsters away. However, ranged monsters were more troublesome. Their attack range was about the same as their arrows. If a Hunter shot an arrow, it could be instantly killed. After all, there was a huge difference in levels. Therefore, when they encountered ranged monsters, they could only fight together.
Of course, Li Huailin also fought, but he was more restrained. Since they were not in a party, no one could tell how fierce Li Huailin was. Li Huailin just casually slashed at the monsters. Of course, the opposing Cleric would still heal him. Originally, Li Huailin's Attributes were already very high, so his Defense was also very high. In fact, the monsters could not hurt Li Huailin, and with the Cleric's help, there was no problem. Of course, the Cleric could not see Li Huailin's actual Health Points. Anyway, Li Huailin did not call for help, so there should be no problem.
The biggest problem now was the time. To be honest, Li Huailin was a little late. Of course, this was calculated according to the time he climbed up the mountain. Now that he was in a party with this group of people, it was very slow. Not only were the monsters troublesome, but they also had to pull the monsters away. Sometimes, they had to go around the monsters. For example, if they encountered more than two monsters, they could not pull the monsters away. They could only go around the monsters, which increased the time it took to climb up the mountain.
However, Li Huailin couldn't just leave like that. Even if he killed this group of people to silence them, they would still be able to spread the news of his arrival in the main city. After all, if he killed someone here, the system would directly notify him of who killed him, and the name would be displayed.
Li Huailin had a headache. It was too late. If he had known that this would happen, he would have brought someone who could fight. That way, they would be able to climb up the mountain faster. However, thinking up to this point, Li Huailin was slightly surprised. Yes, it was not too late to call someone who could fight.
Thinking up to this point, Li Huailin immediately began contacting people. It just so happened that Feng Yiliu and Millennium Unchanged were waiting for news in the Duke's Mansion. Li Huailin immediately contacted them. After exchanging a few words with the two of them, Li Huailin continued his journey towards the top of the mountain.
After waiting for a while, another monster appeared in front of Li Huailin's party. This time, it was a more troublesome long-range monster. The long-range monsters here were mainly some strange-looking Necromancers. In theory, Necromancers were an important military force of the Undead race. However, the Necromancers here did not seem to be the same as the Mages in the main city. Li Huailin did not know what the plot of the Undead race here was. Anyway, these Necromancers had the attributes of wild monsters. Perhaps they were similar to the setting of the rebel army?
A single Necromancer was relatively easy to deal with. After all, they were fragile. Li Huailin did not use his [Origin]. Instead, he used his weapon, Engulf. After all, it was too exaggerated to kill a Mage with one slash. Li Huailin did not want to be so ostentatious. According to the previous situation, Li Huailin was ready to attack directly. However, Plashan, who was next to him, noticed a problem.
"This Necromancer seems to be different. It seems to be slightly stronger than the previous ones. It's not an Elite, right?" Plashan said.
"Kind of," Fluffy said. Yes, even Li Huailin did not notice it. However, after taking a closer look, this Necromancer's attire was slightly different from the previous Common monsters. Humanoid monsters did not have their own names. Generally speaking, they were not Bosses. However, because of the slight changes, it might be an Elite monster.
100 + Elite monsters were a little difficult to deal with. After all, 100 + Common monsters were enough to give level 80 players a headache. If it was not for Li Huailin quietly dealing damage, this party would not have been able to clear this stage so easily. Looking at this Elite Mage, everyone was a little afraid.
"Why don't we think of a way to circle around it?" Markur suggested.
"But it's too late to circle around it now." Plashan looked at the time and said. Yes, of course, they wanted to do this quest, so of course they paid attention to the time. Forget it, they also felt that it was a little too late, so they were very anxious. "If we can't accept the quest in time, there's no point in us coming here. We can only take a gamble and try to kill it."
There was nothing wrong with this statement. Originally, they had come here to accept the quest. Of course, accepting the quest was their top priority. If they couldn't accept it, it would be meaningless even if they were not killed by the monsters. So thinking up to this point, the few of them nodded. It seemed that they could only bite the bullet.
Of course, the one leading the charge was still Li Huailin. However, just as Li Huailin's party was about to charge, the opposing Necromancer discovered Li Huailin's party. Yes, an Elite monster's detection range was definitely larger than a Common monster's, so it was not surprising that they were discovered first.
However, what they didn't expect was that this Elite monster would actually launch an AOE attack. That's right, it was different from a normal monster that commanded a single target. This Elite monster knew not only Soul Arrow, but also Soul Blast, which dealt AOE damage. Since Li Huailin's group was the first to be discovered, the Mage on the other side immediately launched a preemptive strike at the crowd.
"Sh * t!" Everyone turned pale with fright. The Necromancer's damage was quite high. Of course, it couldn't insta-kill them. It was common knowledge that AoE attacks were weaker than single-target attacks. Hence, they managed to survive the first attack. However, the problem was that they couldn't survive the second attack.
At this moment, Li Huailin was considering whether to let these guys die to the monsters. However, if these guys died and he safely reached the top of the mountain, wouldn't that be a bad thing? Just as Li Huailin was thinking about this, a wave of air suddenly streaked across the sky. Li Huailin felt a gust of wind in front of him. By the time he reacted, the necromancer in front of him had been cut in half at the waist. Looking to the side, there was a patch of black trees with unknown trunks that had also been chopped in half. Rows of them were falling to the ground.
This sudden turn of events naturally shocked everyone. The Elite Necromancer in front of them was actually killed in an instant. What kind of situation was this? While everyone was still in a daze, a voice suddenly came from the sky, "Everyone, are you alright?"
Of course, everyone immediately looked up at the internet. In the end, they saw a guy floating in the air above their heads. Looking at the guy's attire, he was definitely a Magician. Moreover, there was a name above his head, which meant that he was an NPC. Players basically knew that NPCs that could fly were definitely Saint-tier NPCs. They were definitely BUG-level characters. Normally, they wouldn't be able to see one. They didn't expect to see one right now.
Of course, after thinking about it, they weren't too surprised. After all, this was a mission assigned by the Celestial race. Although it was said to gather elites, it didn't say that it was a player-specific mission. So, it was very likely that a powerful NPC would come here. This was something they had already discussed on the forum. The Saint-tier NPC in the sky should be here to participate in the Celestial race's gathering. However, the question was … why did this NPC help them?
From the green name, it could be seen that this NPC was in the same faction as them. However, the problem was that although NPCs were in the same faction, they might not necessarily help players. Unless the NPC had a very high Affinity with the player, the NPC would, of course, help you. However, this NPC in front of them was definitely their first time meeting. There was no reason for him to help them.
As they thought about it, the NPC in the sky slowly descended. Of course, everyone was a little nervous. This NPC was definitely not someone they could defeat. So, if the NPC had any ulterior motives, it would be very troublesome. Now that they didn't know the NPC's purpose, everyone looked at him cautiously.
"Okay." The NPC looked at them, especially at Li Huailin's side. However, he didn't do anything special. He only said, "You are here in response to the Celestial race's Oracle, right? Your strength … is a little lacking, but at least you have the heart. I'll go with you."
"Huh?" Everyone was stunned. From the NPC's words, he was going to escort them to the Celestial race's Oracle? Was that even possible? There was such a good thing? Although it was indeed a good thing, the sudden turn of events made them feel a little strange. Why did this NPC want to escort them? However, thinking about the NPC's words, could it be that this NPC was very devoted to the Celestial race? So, when he saw that they were also here in response to the Celestial race's Oracle, he decided to help them?
Only Li Huailin knew what was going on. The reason was simple: he was the one who found this NPC. This NPC's name was Vozmont. Yes, he was the Saint-tier Magician who helped Li Huailin create the Divine Statue. Li Huailin contacted Feng Yiliu and asked him to send someone over. It just so happened that the person on duty was Vozmont.
When he heard that Li Huailin had summoned him, Vozmont was overjoyed. He really didn't want to become a statue again, so he happily rushed over. He had used such a powerful spell just now to show off his strength in front of Li Huailin. Otherwise, with his magic control, he wouldn't have had to go through so much trouble to kill an Elite. Of course, he also remembered what Li Huailin had told him, which was to pretend that he didn't know Li Huailin. Although he didn't know why, he didn't dare disobey.
Although it was a little strange, after thinking about it, it was still a good thing. Moreover, they really didn't have much time. After a discussion, the team members decided to follow this NPC up the mountain.
